electricity...yes, please!

The boys and I are hanging out at my parent's house for the next day or so hoping to stay far enough away from Irene. We woke up to rain and winds and they've been here all day!

The boys and I went to Five Guys one day earlier in the week for lunch and mom has been wanting to go ever since...so, we decided we'd brave the storm today to go to Five Guys for lunch. Yep, we wanted their burgers that badly. Of course, once we got there their power was out--as was everywhere else in the shopping center. We ended up heading back to Powhatan and having lunch at Wendy's. After we had lunch, I dropped mom off at Subway to get dad a sub and told her I was going to drive around the parking lot until I saw her come back out...I didn't pay any attention after she got out of the car and drove off towards the back of the parking lot. As I was rounding a corner I see her waving like a crazy woman from in front of Subway--the lights were on and there were employees in the store but the door was locked and they were closed! We came back to her house and had a few hours before....the power went out! We were without power for about 2 hours and it was a loooooong 2 hours!! Mom and I decided there's no way we could be Amish and have no electricity all the time! And poor dad, I could safely say he was on "kid duty" almost the entire 2 hours..no wonder he's been asleep in his recliner for the last 45 minutes! Needless to say, we were all ecstatic when the power came back on!
Not sure who's more happy in this picture, the boys because they can watch a cartoon
or dad because they're not jumping on him anymore!

According to Daniel we haven't had any storms yet at our house, just rain! Lucky him too, our neighbors let him come over and play for the better part of the afternoon! They even fed him lunch and dinner!
